More quotes by Samuel Rutherford
Christ seeketh your help in your place give Him your hand.
Samuel Rutherford
I think it is possible on earth to build a young, new Jerusalem, a little, new heaven of this surpassing love. God, either send me more of this love, or take me quickly over the water, where I may be filled with his love.
Samuel Rutherford
The hope of heaven under troubles is like wind and sails to the soul.
Samuel Rutherford
If Christ Jesus be the periode, the end and the lodging-home at the end of your journey, there is no fear ye go to a friend . . . ye may look death in the face with joy.
Samuel Rutherford
Heaven is a house full of miracles yea, of spectacles and images of free grace.
Samuel Rutherford
See that you buy the field where the Pearl is sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy: for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory: many are lying dead by the way, slain with security.
Samuel Rutherford
I urge you a nearer communion with Christ, and a growing communion. There are curtains to be opened in Christ that we have never seen before... Therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. Take pains for Him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for Him.
Samuel Rutherford
I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations if water stands, it rots faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.
Samuel Rutherford
My dear brother, let God make of you what He will, He will end all with consolation, and shall make glory out of your suffering.
Samuel Rutherford
Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.
Samuel Rutherford
I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.
Samuel Rutherford
Grace grows best in winter.
Samuel Rutherford
It is in some respect greater love in Jesus to sanctify than to justify, for He maketh us most like Himself, in His own essential portraiture and image in sanctifying us.
Samuel Rutherford
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
Samuel Rutherford
Since He looked upon me my heart is not my own. He hath runaway to heaven with it.
Samuel Rutherford
Show yourself a Christian by suffering without murmuring. In patience possess your soul - they lose nothing who gain Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
Samuel Rutherford
Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.
Samuel Rutherford
The night will close the door & fasten my anchor within the veil and I shall go away to sleep.
Samuel Rutherford
Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.
Samuel Rutherford
